Club Rules

01) You must be a member to submit artwork/fanfic/cosplay-photos or participate in a contest. To become a member, you just request to join the group--there's a link at the top of the front page.

02) Submissions must be focused on Princess Tutu or its characters.

03) While we here at Club-Tutu love fanfiction, doujin, and many of the original characters (OCs) included in them, please keep all club submissions primarily focused on the pre-existing PTT characters. (Alternate Universe (AU) versions of PTT characters are acceptable.) Some cases where the inclusion of an OC is minor to the overall piece are acceptable; this will be judged on a case by case basis by the admins.

04)Club-Tutu supports ALL pairings! No matter how crack~y it gets. We even accept "mature" deviations, but we do enforce the DA policy of setting maturity warning on such deviations.

05) All club submissions must be original creations. (Although we do allow the use of valid stock imagery so long as the guidelines of using the stock are adhered to.) Theft of other artist's work, scans of official PTT art, PTT screenshots, or altered screenshots will be reported to DA and result in immediate removal from Club-Tutu. We must have the written permission of the original artist in the form of a submit note or a link to the artist's general permission to use the resource. This includes the use of cover images on your fanfic; do not use screenshots, official art, or artwork made by other people unless you have explicit written permission from the owner to do so!We realize this seems harsh, but we are just acting in accordance with deviantART policy. (Besides, we hunt art thieves for sport. Meh!)

06) All club submissions must be clean* and completed pieces. Please do not submit works in progress (WIPs).

* Clean means clear lines and easy to look at, clean does NOT refer to the artists skill OR require pieces to be in color.

07) In order to keep the gallery from being flooded with an overwhelming amount of submissions from one person at a time, submissions of both visual art and fanfiction are limited to five per week.

08) We will not post doujinshi (fan comics) or multiple chapter fan fictions that are more than 3 deviations long. We will be happy to allow the any 3 pages/chapters of these to encourage people to look at the entire work, but we will not accept the entire thing.

09) The art posted here is NOT stock. Each piece belongs to the original artist. Do NOT use or distribute the art "as is", or in altered forms such as icons, wallpapers, stamps, etc. If you want to use a piece for something else PLEASE contact the artist for permission.

10)Club-Tutu supports the legal releases of Princess Tutu in all its forms. Do not attempt to use Club-Tutu to request, advertise, or distribute illegal Princess Tutu episodes, video clips, or manga scans. Any such requests or answers in comments on the club DA account will be hidden and your status as a club member will come under review by the admins. (We're not going to go around policing your personal accounts, but keep it off the club DA account.)

C O N T E S T S

There will be two winners for each contest. First place will be decided by popular vote. Second place will be Admins' Choice. The prizes are generally a feature on the Club-Tutu front page. Special prizes will be awarded for the annual club anniversary contest.

About Us

"There is happiness for those who accept their fate. There is glory for those who defy their fate." - Edel

This club exists to create an organization point for all of the fans of the anime and manga "Princess Tutu" on deviantART. It exists to showcase your PTT fanart, fanfic, and cosplay, as well as to provide a way to connect to the other PTT fans on deviantART.

Founder

I've been a fan of Princess Tutu since around 2005 (I think, maybe earlier), and as an artist, have found fan art the best way to participate in the community.

The Princess Tutu fan community is unique because of it's small size, limited canon, and the nature of the series itself. The show is very meta-aware, and the fan base is (mostly) thoughtful, polite and open to exploring all aspects of the show--from shipping and smut to discussion of themes about fairy tales, storytelling, and the nature of fate. The unique nature of the fandom and it's lack of an active gathering point on DA led me to create Club-Tutu.

Co-Founders

I'm a zoologist-tech writer/tech-writer-zoologist professionally, artist and writer for fun. I enjoy creating worlds and illustrating and telling the stories for these worlds and characters. Mythology and fairy tales interest me equally as much as learning about the behavior and natural history of animals.

I've been a fan of Princess Tutu since I first saw it, and my love for has continued undimmed over the last few years. I enjoy having this club to share the fandom's love of this amazing series.
